Hey I was looking for a good modeling program and I don't know what to use. I downloaded the Half-Life 2 version of Softimage by mistake thinking that it could work for Jedi Academy. Could it? Or should I look for something better? Any suggestions?
  
 
  
  
    you could try Milkshape 3D, it's shareware:

 There is also GMax available for free,
 but all the other good tools are very costly.
  
 
  
  
    www.wings3d.com) 
 I hear it's easy to learn and use.
  
 
 
  
  
    If Milkshape if shareware, why does it cost $25?

    You could probably get better answers in the JA Modeling forum. :)

    Its best to have something that supports, the skin modifier, as well as md3 and xsi import/export. GLM is also nice.
